Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning
devices, and a fire alarm control panel (FACP) with remote notification capability—can provide early warn ing of a developing fire.
Such a system, however, does not assure protection against
property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of
an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life
safety communication system that may include an autonomous
control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various interoperable communication met hods—can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a
system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat
detectors be located throughout a protected premises following
the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire
Protection Association S tandard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the
recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of
System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge
to all installing dealers. This document can be found at http: //
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United
States governme nt) indicated that smoke detectors may not go
off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are
designed to provide early warning against fire, they do not
guarantee warning or protection against fire. A fire alarm system
may not provide timely or adequate warning, or simply may not
function, for a variety of reasons:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on
roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors
also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building.
A second-floor detector, for example, may not sense a first-floor
or basement fire.
Particles of combustion or “smok e ” from a developing fire
may not reach the sensing chambers of smoke detectors
because:
• Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, chimneys, even wet or humid areas may inhibit particle or smoke
flow.
• Smoke particles may become “cold,” stratify, and not reach
the ceiling or upper walls where detectors are located.
• Smoke particles may be blown aw a y from de tectors by air
outlets, such as air conditioning vent s.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.
The amount of “smoke” present may be insufficient to alarm
smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are designe d to ala rm at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the
detectors will not go into alarm.
Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing
limitations. Detectors that have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires,
which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type
sensing chambers tend to detect fast-flaming fires better than
smoldering fires. Because fires develop in different ways and
are often unpredictable in their growt h, neither type of detector i s
necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide
adequate warning of a fire.
Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches
(especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explosions
(caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and al arm
only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined
rate or reaches a predetermined level. Rate-of-rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this
reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector shoul d be tested
at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist .
Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same
room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for
the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications,
signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,
speakers and displays may not alert people if these devices
are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or
are located on another floor of a building. Any warning device
may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have
recently consumed drugs, alcohol, or medication. Please note
that:
• An emergency communication system may take priority over
a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be desi gned to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly disseminated on any local displays.
• Strobes can, under c ertain circumstances, cause seizures in
people with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have sh own that certain people, even when they he ar
a fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend the
meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns and
bells, can have different tonal patterns and frequencies. It is
the property owner's responsibility to conduct fire drills and
other training exercises to make people aware of fire alarm
signals and instruct them on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause
temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A life safety system will not operate without any electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby
batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have
been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment
l
is
ted for service with your control panel.
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone line
failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep t he entire life safety sys tem in
excellent working order , ongoing mai ntenance is required per the
manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dus t, dirt, or hig h air
velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance
agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's
representative. Maintenance should be scheduled monthl y or as
required by National and/or local fire codes and should be performed by authorized professional life safety system installers
only . Adequate written reco rds of all inspecti ons should be kept.
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
WARNING - Several different sources of power can be
connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all
sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is
energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate this
unit until manuals are read and understood.
CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product
must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or
deletion of system components, or after any modification,
repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All components, circuits, system operations, or sof tware functions known
to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition,
to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently affected,
at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected
by the change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be
tested and proper system operation verified.
This system meets NFPA requirements for operation at 0-49º
C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity 93% ± 2% RH (noncondensing) at 32°C ± 2°C (90°F ± 3°F). However, the useful
life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected by extreme temperature
ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this
system and its peripherals be installed in an environment with
a normal room temperature of 15-27º C/60-80º F.
Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initia ting and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tol erate more than a
10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may
operate erratically or can be damaged when subject ed to li ght ning induced transients. Although no system is completely
immune from lightning transients and interf erence, proper
grounding will reduce susceptibility. Overhead or outside aerial
wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility
to nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services Department if any problems are anticipated or encountered.
Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or
inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits.
Remove all electronic assemblies prior to any drilling, filing,
reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible, make
all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty wit h screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the
body . Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic
assemblies removed from the unit.
Follow the instructions in the inst al lati on, ope rati ng, and programming manuals. These instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and a ssociated equipment.
FACP operation and rel iability depend upon proper inst allat ion.

1.1.1 Reference Documentation
The table below accommodates a list of document sources containing additional information
regarding the devices used on a Signaling Line Circuit:
Communication between the control panel and intelligent addressable monitor and control devices
takes place through a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC), which can be wired to meet the requirements of
NFPA Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7.
At least one secondary surge protector must be used with each SLC wiring pair whenever SLC
wiring runs outside the building. For detailed information refer to “Surge Suppression” on page 71.
1.3 Polling Protocols
The MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS support LiteSpeed protocol or Classic
Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP). The MS-9200/E, MS-9600/E, MS-9200UD/E, and MS-9050UD
support Classic Loop Interface Protocol (CLIP) only.
1.3.1 Available Protocols
LiteSpeed is a communication protocol that greatly enhances the speed of communication between
analog intelligent devices. Only the MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600LS, and MS-9600UDLS are capable
of operating in LiteSpeed mode. This is the default mode of operation for these FACPs.
CLIP (Classic Loop Interface Protocol) polls devices in sequential order. All Fire-LiteFireWarden
addressable fire alarm control panels can operate in CLIP mode. This is the default mode of
operation for all other FACPs.
1.3.2 Protocol Use
Use one of the following options with LiteSpeed/CLIP mode:
1.Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as LiteSpeed.
2.Program all modules and detectors on an FACP as CLIP.
NOTE: FACPs with more than one SLC loop must be programmed for only LiteSpeed or CLIP
mode of operation. Communication protocols cannot be split between SLC loops.
When switching between polling protocols, the loop circuit must be powered down for at least 30
seconds to reset the devices.
Isolator Modules permit a zone of detectors and modules to be fault isolated from the remainder of
the SLC loop, allowing critical components to function in the event of a circuit fault. Isolator
modules are required to meet the requirements of an NFPA Style 7 circuit.

1.5 SLC Capacity
The protocol selected for an SLC loop determines the maximum number of devices that can be
handled by the loop. See Section 1.3, “Polling Protocols”, on page 10. Within those limits, the
individual control panel may have additional restrictions. See the specific installation manual for
this information.
1.6 SLC Performance
SLC performance depends on the type of circuit (Style 4, Style 6, or Style 7) and the components
on the circuit.
NOTE: SLC operation meeting Style 7 requirements isolates each device on the SLC from faults
that may occur within other areas of the SLC.
Wiring style requirements are determined by national and local codes. Consult with the Authority
Having Jurisdiction before wiring the SLC. The table below (derived from NFPA 72-1999) lists
the trouble conditions that result when a fault exists on an SLC.

2.2.1 Two-Wire SLC - Style 4 (Class B)
Loop Resistance
T-tapping of the SLC wiring is permitted for 2-wire Style 4 configurations. The total DC resistance
from the control panel to each branch end cannot exceed 40 ohms. Measure DC resistance as
detailed and shown below:
1.With power removed, short the termination point of one branch at a time and measure the DC
resistance from the beginning of the SLC to the end of that particular branch.
2.Repeat this procedure for all remaining branches in the SLC.
Total Wire Length
The total wire length of all combined branches of one SLC cannot exceed the limits set forth in
each system’s instruction manual. Determine the total length in each SLC by summing the wire
lengths of all branches of one SLC.
In the following figure, the total length of the SLC is determined by adding the lengths of Branch A
plus Branch B plus Branch C.

and shown below.
1.Disconnect the SLC channel B (Out) and SLC channel A (Return) at the control panel.
2.Short the two leads of SLC channel A (Return).
3.Measure the resistance across the SLC channel B (Out) leads.
Total Wire Length
The total wire length in a four-wire SLC cannot exceed the limits set forth in each system’s
instruction manual. The figure below identifies the output and return loops from SLC terminal on
the control panel:
The drawing below shows the method of proper termination of the shield.
Connect the metal conduit to the cabinet by using the proper connector. Feed the shielded wire
through the conduit, into the control box. The shield drain wire must be connected to the “shield”
terminal on the SLC terminal block.
NOTE: Use of good wiring practice consistent with local electrical codes is expected.
CAUTION:DO NOT LET THE SHIELD DRAIN WIRE OR THE SHIELD FOIL TOUCH THE
SYSTEM CABINET OR BE CONNECTED TO EARTH GROUND AT ANY POINT.
The terminal blocks on the control panel circuit board that concern the SLC circuit are described
below. For more information on this subject refer to the control panel’s Instruction Manual.

There are three isolator devices used to protect critical elements of the SLC from faults on other
SLC branches or segments.
•Fault Isolator Module I300
•Six Fault Isolator Module ISO-6
•Isolator Detector Base B224BI
A Fault Isolator Module on both sides of a device, or the combination of Isolator Base and Isolator
Module is required to comply with NFPA Style 7 requirements.
CAUTION:MAXIMUM ADDRESSABLE DEVICES
• If relay or sounder bases are not used, a maximum of 25 addressable devices can be
connected between Isolator Modules and/or Bases. When relay or sounder bases are used,
the maximum number of addressable devices that can be connected between Isolators is
reduced to seven. Isolator modules will not function properly when these limits are exceeded.
• When more than 100 Isolator Modules are connected to an SLC loop, the address capacity
of the loop is reduced by two (2) addresses for every isolator device in excess of 100.
4.1.1 Isolating an SLC Branch
The module continuously monitors the circuit connected to terminals 3(–) and 4(+). Upon powerup, an integral relay is latched on. The module periodically pulses the coil of this relay. A short circuit on the SLC resets the relay. The module detects the short and disconnects the faulted SLC
branch or segment by opening the positive side of the SLC (terminal 4). This isolates the faulty
branch from the remainder of the loop preventing a communication problem with all other addressable devices on the remaining branches (labeled “Continuation of the SLC” in the figure below).
During a fault condition, the control panel registers a trouble condition for each addressable device
which is isolated on the SLC segment or branch. Once the fault is removed, the module automatically reapplies power to the SLC branch or segment.

A variation of Style 6 operation using isolator modules to protect a section of the SLC. By flanking
each group of devices with an I300 fault isolator module each group is protected from faults that
may occur in the other groups. For example, a fault in Section B will not effect Sections A & C.
The isolator modules on either side of Section B will open the loop. Section A will still operate
from power on the SLC Out side and Section C will operate from the SLC Return side.
•A combination of isolator modules and isolator bases may be used.
•T-tapping is NOT allowed within the Style 6 configuration.
•Isolator modules shall be within 20 feet (6.1 meters) of device and must be enclosed in metal
conduit.

4.4 NFPA Style 7 SLC Using Isolator Modules
Style 7 operation requires using isolator modules (or a combination of isolator modules and isolator
bases) before and after each device. Flanking each device with an isolator provides fault protection
to all other devices on the loop.
•T-tapping is NOT allowed wi thin the Style 7 wiring configuration.
•When a detector base or pull station is used, install isolator modules on both sides of the
device.
•Connections between isolator modules and the device they isolate must be “close-nippled”
conduit, within 3 feet (91.44 cm).
These addressable modules monitor conventional contact-type alarm initiating devices. You can
configure module circuits as an NFPA Style B (Class B) or Style D (Class A) Initiating Device Circuits (IDC). There is no limit to the number of contact-type devices installed on a monitor module
circuit.

Figure 5.8 Setting an SLC Address on a Multi-Point Module
5.2.2 Setting an SLC address for a Multi-Point Module
The SLC address of a multi-point module is set in the same fashion as a single-point module.
In Class B operation, each MMF-300-10, MMF-302-6, CMF-300-6, and CRF-300-6 module is set
to a base address. The remaining module points are automatically assigned to the next higher SLC
addresses. For example, if the base address of a MMF-300-10 is set to 28, the next module points
will be addressed to 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 37.
In Class A operation, alternate module points are paired together, resulting in a total of five module
points. For example, if the base address of a MMF-300-10 is set to 28, then 30, 32, 34 and 36 will
be automatically assigned to the remaining module points and 29, 31, 33, 35 and 37 are available
for use by other modules.
NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD and MS9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, and MS9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159 (the plastic stop located on the Tens switch
must be removed to set addresses above 99).

In “Style Y” operation each CMF-300-6 module can be set to one of 154 base addresses (01-154).
The remaining module points are automatically assigned to the next five higher SLC addresses. For
example, if the base address is set to 28, the next five module points will be addressed to 29, 30, 31,
32 and 33.
In “Style Z” operation alternate module points are paired together, resulting in a total of three module points. For example, if the base address is set to 28, then 30 and 32 will be automatically
assigned to the remaining module points and 29, 31 and 33 are available to be used for other modules on the SLC.
DO NOT set the lowest address above 154 (45 for the MS-9050UD, 94 for the MS-9200, MS9200UD, and MS-9200UDLS), as the other module points will be assigned to nonexistent
addresses.
NOTE: The MS-9050UD can support addresses 01 - 50. The MS-9200, MS-9200UD, and MS9200UDLS can support module addresses of 01 - 99. The MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC,
and MS-9600UDLS can support module addresses 01 - 159.
To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the rotary switches on the module to
the desired address. See Figure 6.4 on page 50.
NOTE: For use with the MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600LSC, and MS-9600UDLS, remove the
stop on the upper rotary switch.
6.4.3 Setting NACs as Style Y or Style Z
To use this module for Style Y (Class B) operation ascertain that a small shunt is installed on the
“A/B SELECT” set of pins. (As shipped).
To use this module for Style Z (Class A) operation remove the small shunt from the “A/B
SELECT” set of pins. See drawing below and Figure 6.4 on page 50.
6.4.4 Disabling Unused Module Addresses
A shunt is used, in conjunction with a pin block, to disable a maximum of
three (3) unused module addresses. If two module addresses are disabled,
the lowest four addresses will be functional, while the highest two will be
disabled. For example, if the shunt is placed on ‘DISABLE 2’ and the base
address is set to 28, the module addresses will be assigned to 28, 29, 30
and 31.
In Style Z operation, placing a small shunt on ‘DISABLE 3’ will disable
all three addresses. Placing it on ‘DISABLE 2’ will disable two out of
three addresses.
T o disable addresses, securely place one of the supplied small shunts onto
the desired set of pins. See drawing and Figure 6.4 on page 50.
6.4.5 Short Circuit Protection
Protection is disabled for each module address when there is a large shunt installed on the corresponding pins of the pin block (as shipped, all six addresses are disabled).
When enabled, the module will not switch power supply if a short circuit condition exists on a
NAC.
T o enable “Short Circuit Protection” for an address, remove the large shunt from the corresponding
pins of the pin block. See Figure 6.4 on page 50. Place unused shunts on single pi n to store on
board for future use.

ity test feature that consists of a test filter attached to a servomotor inside the detector optics.
NOTE: This section provides basic wiring and addressing information. For critical information
on device installation, operation and alignment, refer to the Installation Instructions provided with
these devices.
10.2 Installation and Wiring
10.2.1 Setting an SLC Address for a Beam Detector
Each beam detector is factory preset with an address of “00.” To set an SLC address, use a common screwdriver to adjust the address rotary code switches on the detector to the desired address
(refer to 5.2.1“Setting an SLC address for a Single Point Module” on page 34).
To determine the minimum resistance that can be tolerated in supplying power to 24 VDC 4-wire
devices and NACs, use the calculation below. Use this resistance to select the proper gauge wire for
the power run from the manufacturers specifications for the desired wire.
For Four-Wire Detectors:
(Vms - Vom)
Rmax =
(N)(Is) + (Na)(Ia) + (Ir)
For NACs:
(Vms - Vom)
Rmax =
(Nb)(Ib)
Where:
Rmax = maximum resistance of the 24 VDC wires
Vms = minimum supply voltage
Vom = minimum operating voltage of the detector or end-of-line relay, whichever is greater, in volts
N = total number of detectors on the 24 VDC supply circuit
Is = detector current in standby
Na = number of detectors on the 24 VDC power circuit which must function at the same time in alarm
Ia = detector current in alarm
Ir = end-of-line relay current
Nb = number of Notification Appliance Devices
Ib = Notification Appliance current when activated
NOTE: This simplified equation assumes that the devices are at the end of a long wire run.
The minimum supply voltages produced by Fire•Lite power supplies are listed belo w:
Power used to supply 24 VDC detectors, notification appliances (using the CMF-300), and two
wire detectors (using the MMF-302) can be supervised with a power supervision relay. This relay,
energized by the 24 VDC power itself, is installed at the end of each respective power run and
wired in-line with the supervised circuit of any intelligent module.
24 VDC power must be provided from a UL-listed power supply for fire protection use.
When power is removed from the relay, the normally closed contacts open the supervised circuit,
generating a trouble condition. Therefore, the relay needs to be installed at the end of the supervised circuit, so it will not disrupt the operating capability of all the devices on that circuit. The
relay can be installed in-line with any leg (+ or –) of the supervised NAC circuit, either a Style B
(Class B) or a Style D (Class A) circuit.
NOTE: Surge protection is not required in Canadian applications.
There are three (3) primary surge protectors that are approved for use with the MS-9200, MS9200UD, MS-9200UDLS, MS-9600, MS-9600LS, MS-9600UDLS, and MS-9050UD.
Additional primary surge suppressors may be added as required by the NEC. Add these additional
suppressors in series with the SLC wiring at the building entry/exit.
Wiring connected to the surge suppressor output must remain within the building while wiring connected to the surge suppressor input may be routed outside the building as shown below.
Mounting of the surge suppressor must be inside the FACP enclosure or in a separate enclosure
listed for fire protective signaling use.
•Locate on an available stud and secure with nut.
•Unit is connected in series with the SLC Loop to protect the Control Panel.
•Provide a common ground to eliminate the possibility of a differential in ground potentials.
